Wanna Be a Steader!

The Simple Woman's Daybook ~ #16 ~ 1/5/09

FOR TODAY...

Outside my window...grey, dreary, COLD day.  But it IS a day that the Lord has made, so I will rejoice & be glad in it!

I am thinking...that this is a week of 'back to normal' and life will take on it's regular pace.

I am thankful for...the safe and blessed delivery of my friend's sweet baby boy on Saturday morning!  This is my dear friend whose husband was killed in a motorcyle accident back in July.  This baby is SUCH a miracle - it had TWO tight knots in it's umbilical cord and is perfectly normal!!  One of the nurses told her that certainly the Lord let her husband watch over that baby to make sure it got here.  Please keep her - and their (now) 4 children in your prayers.

From the learning room...Back to school today!  On the plate are:  Bible, American Gov't, Composition, Life Skills, Marine Biology and Nature Journaling/Art; gym will resume on Thursday.

From the kitchen...simple soup and sandwiches...or maybe salad for lunch; chicken breasts, snap beans w/almonds and garlic/rosemary roasted potatoes for supper.

I am wearing...jeans, burgandy shirt, blue 'house socks'.

I am creating...by tearing down.  We will be taking down our Christmas tree and other decorations today.  Boohoo! 

I am going...to the grocery and the bulk food store this afternoon.

I am reading...Bible; reading through DD#2's schoolbooks and doing some extended planning...that I DIDN'T get done while on Christmas Break!

I am hoping...that an important appointment for DD#1 goes VERY well for her tomorrow.

I am hearing...Glenn Beck on the radio and the girls walking around up-stairs.

Around the house...putting things back in order after the Christmas decorations come down, laundry, homeschool...

One of my favorite things...newborn baby fingers and toes.

A few plans for the rest of the week:  homeschool, gym, THURSDAY IS DD#1's 21st B-DAY!!!  Practicing the 4 songs that DH & I will be singing at my mom's church on Sunday.

Here is a picture thought I'm sharing...

In light of DD#1's 21st b-day...wasn't this just yesterday?!?!

Thank you for the birthday wishes! Your daughter will be 21?! Kim, my dear, you can't be old enough to have a daughter that age. :-)

You are right...this weather IS nasty! We haven't ventured out at all. The scanner has been going off all morning reporting accidents and I've been keeping my husband in prayer (he's at the firehouse) because he's out in it. You would think that folks in Ohio would know how to drive in winter weather, but I guess not!
Oh well, it will be spring before we know it!
By the way, I love the family picture that you posted. What a beautiful bunch!

Dear Kim,
I will be praying for that dear little newborn, Mother, and family. For protection, comfort and strength--God is good!
Enjoyed reading your Daybook! Sounds like you are a busy homeschooling mom!
I finally packed up the last of my Christmas decorations--never my favorite thing to do, but happy to get it done.
My Dear husband,PB and I are presently trying to reacquaint ourselves with eBay. We haven't done it in about 6 years--(my husband is a pastor-teacher, but has had to take a leave of absence due to illness,but still teaches Bible study on Wednesdays. He will be undergoing a therapy which is similar to Chemotherapy. Not going to be easy, but we are trusting the Lord.) Anyway I have been trying to read through the extremely boring and technical User's guide for the last couple of days! zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz! This, plus our spot in the Antique mall will be keeping me busy. Hope to get on soon as this will help generate a little income for us.
How's things coming with your church search? I continue to keep that in prayer.
Always a joy to hear from you!
Blessings and Love,
Claudia O.

I must agree with you! I am so thankful that the holiday rush is over...I was a little tired of being on vacation from school
